In this paper, we study the nearly critical Lane-Emden equations(⁎){−Δu=up−εinΩ,u>0inΩ,u=0on∂Ω, where Ω⊂RN with N≥3, p=N+2N−2 and ε>0 is small. Our main result is that when Ω is a smooth bounded convex domain and the Robin function on Ω is a Morse function, then for small ε the equation (⁎) has a unique solution, which is also nondegenerate. As for non-convex domain, we also obtain exact number of solutions to (⁎) under some conditions.In general, the solutions of (⁎) may blow-up at multiple points a1,⋯,ak of Ω as ε→0. In particular, when Ω is convex, there must be a unique blow-up point (i.e., k=1). In this paper, by using the local Pohozaev identities and blow-up techniques, even having multiple blow-up points (non-convex domain), we can prove that such blow-up solution is unique and nondegenerate. Combining these conclusions, we finally obtain the uniqueness, multiplicity and nondegeneracy of solutions to (⁎).
